Donning a black dress, he looked really sexy. It was like when I met him. Aspen liked to crossdress. Actually, I did not really know that. "Do you like wearing these female clothes?" I asked him. He looked at me in what looked like confusion. "Are you kidding me, David? Sure I do. It is great to have anything on. This beats being butt naked in the basement any day. Why wouldn't I like it?" he said without a hint of irony. That opened my door to understanding everything. I was right. He did not have any rights until he was given to me. At that point, he only had the rights that I gave him. No wonder he never complained to me. I sat him down on the bed and held his hands. I had to get through to him. I also did not want to implant any new trauma if there did not need to be. Fish do not recognize that they are swimming in water after all. I ran my thumbs against the back of his hands and said "Listen to me Aspen. I need you to be 100% honest with me. Would you like to wear boy clothes? You are a boy after all. I want you to be comfortable." He looked confused. "Can I pick!?" he asked. He did it.
Eventually, he found something that he liked. That was great. We hung out until it was time to to get dressed. He put on his dress and posed against the far wall. I really liked what I saw from him. "You think people are going to like it?" he asked me. I smiled wide at him. "None of that matters. It only matters if you think you look good and feel comfortable in it. You know that I like it. I bought it for you." I said. He looked down at himself and nodded his head. Aspen liked how he looked. That was the most empowering thing I could do. Before we started training him on how to fight, we needed to get him in the mindset where he would want to protect himself. Aspen was a very human being. He was valuable to me. Not only because he could lay some bronze eggs, but also because he was someone who was cute and a kind person. The way he could appreciate everything and anything was nice. He never had a negative thing to say. I had to make sure not to take that for granted. I walked over to him. In order to match, I was wearing a suit. There was something about going all dressed.
Finally leaving the small motel room together, I got a cab. We definitely would need to start looking for a place to live. We had 2 children on the way. My patience was not the highest as we waited outside for it to arrive. Lucky for me, Aspen was here with me. He was looking all over the place. He mentioned being naked in a basement. It was a harrowing thought. Old Kipler was a man with a wife and at least 1 hatchling child. I had no doubt that there were others that were in the basement, or others like it. Harvesting eggs like that would be profitable, but horrible. That did lead to a question. Why was he so willing to give me money for eggs when he clearly had access to his own supply? I would have to ask him at some point. Something told me that I would need to be prepared for a really fucked up answer. That did not matter right now. I was now here to make sure that Aspen had the greatest day of his life. I really owed him with everything that I put him though. When the cab came, we got in. It took us there. We decided to simply spend the 2 hours on their top floors. We'd come back.
